Clearview Window Cleaning Services is thrilled to announce our latest project: a prestigious contract to clean the windows of the historic Waterlow Court, a remarkable Grade II listed building located in Hampstead Garden Suburb. This project reflects our commitment to preserving history while delivering top-tier window cleaning services.

A Glimpse into History: Waterlow Court

Waterlow Court was inaugurated in 1909 as a project of the Improved Industrial Dwellings Company, founded by Sir Sydney Waterlow in the 1860s. It came to life through the vision of Henrietta Barnett, the founder of Hampstead Garden Suburb, and remains a stunning example of the Arts and Crafts movement.

Designed with intricate detail, the property is centered around a picturesque courtyard with an arcaded cloister. Entering through a charming lych-gate, visitors are greeted by timber-framed walkways, lime-washed brickwork, and elegant mullioned, leaded casement windows. The combination of low tiled roofs, timber cupolas, and prominent chimney stacks gives the property its distinct character.

Waterlow Court is renowned not only for its architecture but also for its role in the early 20th-century movement supporting independent working women. The communal dining areas, open fireplaces, and charming bicycle shed are all testaments to the progressive Edwardian spirit that inspired this development.

Preserving the Past with Traditional Cleaning Methods

Maintaining the architectural integrity of a Grade II listed building requires expertise and careful consideration. At Clearview, we understand the importance of using specialist techniques that honour the craftsmanship of the past. For this project, our team will employ traditional window cleaning methods to protect the original mullioned and leaded casement windows.

These methods allow us to delicately clean each window without causing damage to the glass, frames, or surrounding structure. Our experienced team is well-versed in working on heritage properties, ensuring that each pane is left sparkling clean while the building's legacy remains intact.

A Testament to Trust and Quality

Winning the Waterlow Court contract is a milestone for Clearview Window Cleaning Services and a testament to our reputation for quality and care. This opportunity allows us to contribute to the ongoing preservation of an architectural masterpiece, and we are honoured to play a role in maintaining such an important piece of history.

Our commitment to excellence, respect for heritage, and specialised approach are what make Clearview the trusted choice for both modern and historic properties alike.

We are excited to begin work on this project and look forward to sharing the results with our clients and community.
